About the Game

Moon Gun was developed following the Game Jam’s theme: Moonshot. In Moon Gun, you have to manage the base of S/2009S1 during a Phlebotium extraction operation. Due to its dangerous position in Saturn’s asteroid belt, the moon base is continuously at risk of being hit by asteroids. Use the Turret, your only offensive mechanism, to destroy the asteroids and protect the facilities. But fear not! In the operation’s early stages, the protective shield covering the base is strong enough to hold up for as many asteroids as you might let slip away. However, as the extraction intensifies, worse and more menacing dangers will arise!
